Career
Peters was starred in Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 film The Ten Commandments as an extra as a child.
Peters escaped from home at the age of 14 and moved to New York City, where he began working as a hairdresser and began dyeing women's pubic hair. He opened two salons and later took over his uncles' salon on Rodeo Drive, where he first met Sue Mengers. He learned about Jay Sebring's technique of shaving hair from Sebring's protégé Jim Markham, whereupon he designed a short wig worn by Barbra Streisand in the 1974 comedy film For Pete's Sake. After being introduced through and working with Mengers, he created both Steffisie (1974) and her version of A Star Is Born (1976). "He's like trying to withstand a hurricane," Mengers said of Peters. I'd be 20 years younger if it weren't for Jon."
Peters worked with producer Peter Guber for ten years, with whom he helmed Sony Pictures from 1989 to 1991. Peters left Sony in 1991 to start Peters Entertainment, an exclusive three-year contract at Sony, but in 1994, he moved to Warner Bros.
Peters acquired the Superman film rights from Warner Bros in the early 1990s. Evening in Kevin Smith's Q&A/comedy DVD, filmmaker Kevin Smith talked about working for Peters when he was hired to write a script for a new Superman film, which was later called Superman Reborn and later Superman Lives. Peters, according to Smith, had expressed disdain for the bulk of Superman's iconic features by requesting that Superman never fly nor appear in his trademark costume. Smith said Peters recommended Sean Penn for the role based on his success as a death row prisoner in Dead Man Walking, which he described as a "caged animal, a fucking killer." Peters also wanted the third act of the film to include a fight between Superman and a giant spider, according to Smith, who was honoured to King Kong. Peters made the 1999 film Wild Wild West, which featured a massive mechanical spider as the final chapter. Both Smith and Peters' documentary The Death of 'Superman Lives' explores the subject.
After finishing a script, Smith met Peters, who said Peters suggested a robot sidekick for Brainiac, a war scene between Brainiac and polar bears, and a sellable "space dog" pet similar to Star Wars' Chewbacca. "The Superman franchise was more leaning toward 'Star Wars' in the documentary Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman," Peters admitted that the Superman franchise was problematic for him. I didn't know the human part of it, but I didn't have it." Peters produced Superman Returns, Bryan Singer's 2006 Superman film directed by Bryan Singer, and Executive Produce Man of Steel, the 2013 Superman film directed by Zack Snyder, followed him. Peters claims that he was refused to participate in Christopher Nolan's Man of Steel set because "my image intimidates these guys."
Peters was a producer on a planned sequel to the Sandman comics for Warner Bros., but it became stalled in production in 2001. Sandman creator Neil Gaiman said in the last screenplay for the film that Warner Bros. would send him "not only the worst Sandman script I've ever seen, but also the worst script I've ever read." "But Sandman movies, they've just become more appalling," Gaiman said in a 2005 interview about the film. They started recruiting some really nice people... but then Jon Peters fired them all of them, found some that take orders, and who like fistfights and all that stuff. It had no sensibility: they were horrible." Peters attempted to include a "giant mechanical spider" in the script, as in Superman Lives and Wild West. In an attempt to hinder its development, Gaiman will continue to leak the soiled script in an attempt to stop its production.
Peters' autobiography, which was co-written with Los Angeles writer William Stadiem, was submitted for a book by the Los Angeles writer. "I came from the lowest depths to become the MAN in Hollywood, a master of seduction, film, and psychology," he said, "has seen it all and knows it all" without ever being a "know it all." Peters is also supposed to write about his sexual encounters with Barbra Streisand, Sharon Stone, and several other actresses. After the leakage of the plan and potential litigation, he subsequently dropped out of the HarperCollins book deal in 2009.
During the production of Superman Returns in August 2011, Los Angeles jurors ordered Peters to pay a former assistant $3.3 million after finding she was exposed to sexual abuse and a hostile work environment. Since the incident, the 44-year-old single mother also said she was unable to find jobs because of Peters' fame in the industry. In the case, the claimant was awarded compensatory and punitive damages. Peters was one of the creators of the 2018 film A Star Is Born but did not receive permission from the Producers Guild of America to use the "p.g.a" in his film. After his name, he was given the award. Bradley Cooper said he was unaware of the sexual harassment accusations against Peters and that Peters was not on the set of his film, though he was not aware of the film's authenticity, but only because he owned the rights.
